Humanitarianism: Education & Conflict: PEAC/EDUC 072 (Amy Kapit)

Advocacy Goals for Our Organization

Healing from Conflict is an advocacy organization centered around creating safety for children amidst trauma. This particular advocacy campaign is centered on the Safe Schools Declaration: a key international agreement that has the potential to create healing in educational spaces by providing students trauma-free spaces safe from all kinds of physical, social, mental, and emotional violence.

Our belief in the Safe Schools Declaration stems from our commitment to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, specifically Article 3:

"States Parties undertake to ensure the child such protection and care as is necessary for his or her well-being, taking into account the rights and duties of his or her parents, legal guardians, or other individuals legally responsible for him or her, and, to this end, shall take all appropriate legislative and administrative measures." (Convention on the Rights of the Child, 1990)

This segment of the Convention illuminates the sanctity of the well-being of the child.
